Según el portal de internet, The Wrap, el director J.J. Abrams confirmó en una reciente entrevista, que el guión del filme Star Wars: Episode VII ya está terminado y listo. El mismo confirmó que se encuentran en pre-producción y trabajado a todo vapor.
“We’re working really hard and we’ve got our script and we’re in deep prep,” Abrams told TheWrap. “Full steam ahead, y’know.”
Abrams dejó saber su sentir sobre el formato IMAX para EPISODE VII:
“In the right situation I would,” like to shoot in IMAX, he said. “The problem with IMAX is it’s a very loud camera. It’s a very unreliable camera. Only so much film can be in the camera. You can’t really do intimate scenes with it. It’s slow. They break down often. Having said that, they’re working on digital versions of these and so there may be a version one day. But we’re going to be shooting this next movie on film.”
Abrams habló un poco sobre la exageración de rumores circulando dicha película:
“There’ve been so many of them,” he said. “It’s amazing to see how many there are. … But it’s sweet because it shows that there’s an interest in this movie that we all obviously know is there. But it is an incredible thing to see how many crazy things get thrown out that people often then write commentaries about. How happy they are, how disappointed they are about something that is completely false. It’s a lot of noise, frankly.”
Abrams también admite que se ha reunido con el actor, Jesse Plemmons (Breaking Bad), y que el mismo se encuentra en consideración para el filme:
“He is one of the actors that we’ve talked to, yeah,” Abrams said. “But, you know. It’s not often that I read about actors that I’m going to be meeting … that I get to read articles about actors who are going to come in. And so I get to see someone and say, ‘Oh, I read that I’m going to see you.’ … It’s usually agents talking to people about what’s happening. It’s a lot of noise.”
